How to Send a Direct Message Tweet on Twitter
Twitter is a community of friends, family members and celebrities from across the world who post "tweets," also known as statuses, to their followers (friends) on Twitter. Twitter is a quick and brief way to let your followers know what is going on or what is happening in your life. With Twitter, you can also communicate with direct messages that only you and whomever you are sending the message to will see.

Thanks for the easy instructions. Now a question. Not all the people I follow show up in the Direct Message drop down menu. How can I send a DM to someone not in that drop-down list? -

Caution, use DM's sparingly. Don't overuse this feature or people will stop following ( or worse - report you as a spammer).
